  • A
    the same throughout the motion
  • B
    minimum at the highest position of the circular path
  • C
    minimum at the lowest position of the circular path
  • D
    minimum when the rope is in the horizontal position

The minimum velocity $v$ required for a simple pendulum to complete one full rotation in a vertical plane is given. If the length of the string is reduced to one-fourth,what will be the new required velocity?

$A$ bucket filled with water is tied to a rope of length $0.5 \,m$ and is rotated in a circular path in a vertical plane. The minimum velocity it should have at the lowest point of the circle so that the water does not spill is, $(g=10 \,m/s^2)$

What will be the minimum speed of the roller-coaster so that the passenger at the top, when becomes upside down, does not fall out (in $m \ s^{-1}$)? Consider the acceleration due to gravity as $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$, and the radius of curvature of the roller coaster is $10 \ m$.

$A$ stone of mass $150 \ g$ moves in a vertical circle at the end of a string. The radius of the circle is $70 \ cm$ and the speed of the stone at the topmost point $P$ is $3.5 \ m/s$. For the instant at which the stone passes through the highest point $P$,the centripetal force is nearly ......... $N$ (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

In the case of vertical circular motion of a particle attached to a thread of length $r$, if the tension in the thread is zero at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure, the velocity at the bottom point $(A)$ of the circular path is ($g =$ gravitational acceleration).
